We are getting married!

Ryan and Kate crossed paths during a pivotal moment in their lives, both navigating the challenging world of law school. It was Kate's last year, and she was insistent that she was not looking for a relationship. Ryan, on the other hand, had just embarked on his journey as a first-year law student, eager and optimistic about what lay ahead. One of their initial encounters was when Ryan mustered the courage to ask Kate out, and her response was a cautious one: 'I'm not dating anyone right now.' Remarkably, he respected Kate's decision without a hint of disappointment, and they remained friends. Over time, as their friendship blossomed and it became clear to Kate that he was the one who had patiently waited for the right moment. As they began dating they immediately felt a strong connection and knew early on that their relationship was truly special. Now they live together with their two cats, Revvie and Guppy, in Edgewater, Cleveland. Ryan is currently pursuing a PhD in History and Kate is greatly enjoying the freedom of post-grad life. Kate and Ryan's love story began as a true testament to patience and friendship, and it continues to be the greatest chapter in their lives.
